Basic Rules for Multi-Engine Planes All the basic rules of WW1 Wings of Glory apply to the multi-engine airplane included in this pack. To use this “giant of the sky,” you should also use the rules in this section.
aIrPlane Center
On multi-engine airplane cards and bases there is no longer a single “center” of the airplane. The airplane stand (or the blue dot at the center of the airplane, on the airplane card) is used to decide whether the airplane is inside or outside the gaming surface and for any other use apart from firing. Red dots are used to mark machine gun positions: there is one such dot for each arc of
fire. To measure the range when firing with a specific machine gun, use the appropriate red dot.
Tailing Multi-Engine Airplanes The blue dot on the airplane base is used as a reference point for the Tailing optional rule.
Multiple Arcs of Fire
All multi-engine airplanes have several machine guns. Each machine gun is indicated by a red dot and a firing arc. The red letter inside a circle, on the firing arc, indicates the firepower (type of damage card) of that machine gun. The number inside a red octagon is used to identify the machine gun (necessary when the complete rules are in use).
Pay attention to firing arcs that overlap other firing arcs; a target airplane can be fired at by more than one of an airplane’s machine guns at the same time if it is within more than one arc.
If a multi-engine airplane takes jamming damage, only the machine gun that caused the jamming damage card to be drawn is jammed.
Airplanes with several firing arcs can fire at one target for each arc after each movement phase.

Special Rules Rear Machine Gun and Gotha Tunnel
The rear machine gun of the Gotha G.V has a blind spot just at the rear of the tail. Use the ruler to connect the red dot of the rear machine gun with the center dot of the target in the rear firing arc as normal. If the ruler passes through the black section of the firing arc behind the tail of the airplane, and the first half of the
ignored if the target is at a ruler touches any point of the higher altitude (because the tail target base, the line of sight is blocked and firing is not possible. does not block the line of sight in this case) or at a lower altitude If you use altitude (because of the “tunnel” the optional rules, the Gotha G.V Gotha had in the fuselage that blind spot only applies when allowed the rear gunner to fire firing at targets at the same downward). altitude. The blind spot is
